The School for Scandal: storm in an 18th-century teacup

The Guardian: "I've just opened my production of The School for Scandal at the Barbican, and it seems the critics are up in arms. Five-star reviews or one star. 'Highly theatrical, provocative and intelligent, the show is unmissable,' reads one, while another says, 'Watching this School for Scandal is like witnessing a group of louts spray-painting an elegant old building with graffiti. It's time Deborah Warner was served with the theatrical equivalent of an Asbo.'
